- mining sucks- people that mine do it for profit- 0.0 is far more lucrative- there are serious game breaking bugs to deal with- there are serious overly powered ships with no counter other than you bringing more of them to the fight to balance- sov grind is an actualy labor, no fun to be found at any point along that line- people are moaning their lost flat world sanctum whoring ability

And now, ice is up for removal from high sec?

The fact this even made it onto even a trolls to do list is amazing. There are far bigger fish to fry!For me, the best part of Incarna is the fact we all contracted 'Space Nits'. "I docked up and all I got was 'head lice'." ;-p

I'm not trollin' - a friend who spends most of his day in EVE every day, told me ice will be removed soon, according to what he heard on IRC and forums. I googled this and found several supporting posts. So I decided to come in and check if any of it is true.

I understand why some people would like ICE removed from empire, but this would be a huge mistake do do something like this now, when already so many people left due to overly draconian changes that were employed in resent years. Let's not forget the people who mine ice simply for pure profit while watching a nice movie, and dont care for POSs, fuel, PvP, politics or any of that stuff. I see nothing wrong with this.

Ice miners directly affect the prices of Nullsec warfare, and we should hold off on removing the Ice from empire because people want to watch a movie while they play EVE and afk-mine in near-absolute safety?

Yea... going to need a better argument than that to convince many of us who feel that Ice should never have been in empire to begin with...

It's not.

What it is is people suffering from highsec persecution complex who dream up nerfs that are supposed to happen to them based on a failure to read very simple language.

The fact is this: as part of their 5-year nullsec development plan, CCP are discussing an idea that nullsec should be the sole source of at least some of the types of ice in the game. So it is not ˘very soon÷ and it is not ˘all ice÷ anyway.¨¨¨˘If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.÷¨ Karath Piki

You and your friend are both idiots. 30 seconds would have found the answer.

Originally by:DevblogSome of it will be changed or dropped before it ever gets implemented. Some of it will never happen

Originally by:DevblogThis is a roadmap, not a production schedule.

and finally to reiterate:

Originally by:DevblogSome of it will never happen

In short: the OP was right about the rumor of ice being removed from highsec. Way I read the devblog, is that it's likely going to happen, far as CCP is concerned, but that they continue monitoring community feedback, and will consider other things, before they make anything final.

So, when met with enough opposition they may well leave ice in highsec, but it's my understanding that CCP itself wants to move it to lowsec/nullsec exlusively.

Me neither also it is a fact that EVE has been dying since 2003, there is post around there that prove it!!

Also i kind of remember CCP reducing some Ice areas in hi-sec like 2-3 years ago or even more

Quote:Sole source of ice and high-end minerals For further discussion. Nullsec should be the only place we're injecting ices, zydrine, megacyte and morphite into the game. This ensures that nullsec mining retains a unique value proposition, and guarantees that mining time for these types is priced according the risk and effort involved in nullsec extraction.

--------CCP knows better than the players whats good for their game. SOE knew what was best for SWG too. Better than all those players that left too.

Quote:For further discussion. Nullsec should be the only place we're injecting (at least some of the) ices, zydrine, megacyte and morphite into the game.

So, yes, the notion that all ice will be removed from highsec is something highsec dwellers have dreamed up because they can't read, not something CCP has ever mentioned, much like the supposed removal of L4s that also was never mentioned.

It might be the case that as part of a 5-year plan, they will make sure some types of ice are only available in nullsec. Some ¨ might ¨ in upwards of 5 years. There is no mention whatsoever about removing all highsec ice, and the any reshuffling of other ice that might happen will not happen very soon.¨¨¨˘If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.÷¨ Karath Piki

The topic about moving ice to null started why back during the Alliance Tourny when it was discussed live.

When it was talked about it was about MOVING all ice to null, something which the panal agreed with.

Yes it was mentioned during the blog regarding the 5 year plan but it was also talked about before then.

At the moment you can not help people being very skeptical about anything CCP say.

How long have we been waiting for some dude to change a couple numbers to nerf the dramiel and increase logistics warp speed? Will be another decade before they even start to make plans for changes to ice distribution.

To be honest Tippia is arguing just to argue.

CCP(even in this very thread) has said that they are considering major changes to ice in the future. Looking at CCPs recent track record its reasonable for people worry about the worst case serio for any change.

Originally by:Prince KobolTippa, as much as I like your posting in the past, your condesening attitude is starting to get old.

I have grown to old and weary to have patience with self-imposed ignorance, even more so when it's so blatantly obvious that people are inventing **** just to be able to get all worked up about the nonsense they've just invented.

Quote:The topic about moving ice to null started why back during the Alliance Tourny when it was discussed live.

Óand what was said back then isn't particularly relevant when that was just 5-second soundbites compared to the actual design pointers that were then presented.

Quote:At the moment you can not help people being very skeptical about anything CCP say.

No, but I can be sceptical (and, yes, condescending) towards people who blatantly alter and falsify statements and then claim that it's CCP who said it.

Originally by:GhoestTo be honest Tippia is arguing just to argue.

Not really. I'm correcting people to provide them with correct information. If they have invented their own information, then yes, I also like to smack them over the head a bit. Neither really counts as arguing.

Óand no-one is arguing that. What I'm saying that the whole ˘omgz, highsec nerf÷ is just the product of wilful ignorance or an outright inability to read.¨¨¨˘If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.÷¨ Karath Piki

You may be right BUT I believe Tippia's post was pointing out that while some may want to assume that the world is about to end, misquoting a Dev does not make your arguement more credible, it makes you look a panic-merchant who's determined to troll in order to spread dissent and concern.

Originally by:CCP SoundwaveWe are still looking into the option of altering the ice distribution in EVE, but it's not planned for any release at this point.

Does not equal

Originally by:Sullen SkoungSole source of ice and high-end minerals For further discussion. Nullsec should be the only place we're injecting ices, zydrine, megacyte and morphite into the game.

That game is called Chinese Whispers - we may have played it when we were young. It's fun, but has no place in here. (though it's here in abunance). There are a great deal many changes which sound good but are never implemented, and rubish changes can fall by the way side too.

To be honest. All this nay-saying is doing my nut in. If they say something we don't like, it's gospel. If they say something that sounds good, we don't believe them. That might be 'CCP's fault', but if you don't believe anything you read unless it's bad, then just stop reading - or you can try and be more objective like adults are supposed to be.

Originally by:Arteor you can try and be more objective like adults are supposed to be.

lol do as i say not as I do(or say in this case)

Hah. My mum always used to beat me with that saying.

It's true, the nay saying has ground me down and it's all I seem to see on the forums nowadays.

That is... worse that it ever used to be. At least in the old days the smack-talk was aimed at each other with a sense of humour, now there's just so much.... malice.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

is this the same as CCP shadows comments on micro transactions?

if so, expect no ice in high sec for the next expansion

No clue, I don't know all Shadows posts by heart. But the tl;dr here is that I'm not touching it for now.

lol... even CCP's are like "no comment" hey at least theyre getting smart--------CCP knows better than the players whats good for their game. SOE knew what was best for SWG too. Better than all those players that left too.
